Homepage explainer

A 40-second product-first overview showing how ClawKickstart gets OpenClaw running on infrastructure you control.

What this service does

A simple way to get OpenClaw running on infrastructure you own, whether you want an OpenClaw Hetzner deploy or a bring-your-own VPS setup.

A

We handle deployment

ClawKickstart creates or connects your VPS, prepares the server, and deploys OpenClaw or Hermes Agent from the browser.

B

You keep infrastructure control

Your instance runs on your VPS account, not on shared infrastructure we control behind the scenes.

C

Built for busy users

Good for people who want a secure setup, want to move faster, or do not want to spend time on SSH and server configuration.

How it works

Three short steps from signup to a live OpenClaw instance.

1

Connect your server path

Use a Hetzner API token to provision a new VPS, or use a server you already own.

2

Choose the setup details

Select your location and server size, or enter your existing server details, depending on the path you choose.

3

We deploy and hand over access

ClawKickstart completes the deployment flow, shows progress, and gets your OpenClaw instance live on your server.

Why use ClawKickstart

The main benefits for people who want OpenClaw live without turning setup into a project.

Less setup time

Skip the usual VPS setup work and move from account creation to deployment from one dashboard.

Safer defaults

ClawKickstart is designed to apply opinionated setup defaults so you do not have to figure out every server choice from scratch.

Your infrastructure, not ours

You choose the VPS, keep the provider account, and stay in control of where the instance runs.

Pricing and real cost

You pay for ClawKickstart, and you also pay your VPS provider directly for the server you choose.
